There are 3 modes in which to view resources to be synchronized:</P>
<ul>
  <li>
    <p CLASS="Para">Catch up mode: shows incoming changes only (resources in the
    stream that differ from what is in the workbench).&nbsp; See <a href="tasks-113.htm">Catching
    Up</a>.</p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <p CLASS="Para">Release mode: shows outgoing changes only (resources
    modified in the workbench). See <a href="tasks-114.htm">Releasing</a>.</p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <p CLASS="Para">Catch up/Release mode: shows both incoming and outgoing
    changes.&nbsp; See <a href="tasks-113.htm">Catching Up</a> and <a href="tasks-114.htm">Releasing</a>.</p>
  </li>
</ul>
<p CLASS="Para">To show only conflicts (resources edited in both the workbench
and in the stream) in any one of these 3 modes click on the
Show Only Conflicts button on the view's toolbar.</p>
<P CLASS="Para">
In the Synchronize view, you will see the Structure Compare and Text Compare
area.&nbsp;&nbsp;</P>
<P CLASS="Para">
In the Text Compare area, the workbench resource is on the left side, and the stream
resource is on the right side.</P>
<P CLASS="Para">
The resources displayed in the Structure Compare area will depend on which
filters are used in the Synchronize view.</P>
<P CLASS="Para">
Note: It is most often preferable to first catch up, resolve conflicts (usually
by merging), and then release workbench changes to the stream.</P>
